N, Trippified.

[Animator]

So I was looking through the old forums out of nostalgia and I remembered this little thread about N with trippy colors and stuff, dating back farther than Nreality itself. Lately it's awesomeness has been worn away by it's age, but I just want to re-introduce this back into the community for the sake of fun and pleasure. Here's a copy of the entire post here, for the sake of organization, written by Niccus:

Hm. I'd show you a screenshot of this in action, but it doesn't work that way. Sorry.

Step 1: Go here, install it. Don't go for the lite package.

Step 2: Open some random song in it.

Step 3: Press ctrl+P. Go to Visualization. Select "Advanced Visualization Studio v2.81b [vis_avs.dll]". If you have a newer version, bless you. Start it.

Step 4: Select a preset. Find one you like or one you find particularly trippy.

Step 4b: If you can't find one you like, go here. Browse by favorite count if you want. Go here for my half-crappy presets. They're all at least a year old.

Now the real fun starts! As soon as you stop staring at the screen, go to the next step.

Step 5: Is AVS running? Good. Open up the AVS editor.

Step 6: Click "Settings", select "Display".

Step 7: Look at top right. See overlay mode? Enable it.

Step 8: Click on the box labeled "color". Change it to 202/202/208.

Step 9: Open up N. Have fun.

Other things to do:

Change the overlay to the color of the N walls... or the overlay color to the color of the N walls. Guess what happens?

Change the overlay color to 121/203/227. Yes, you can have your rasta drones now. Heck, you can skin your drones now.

Once you stop staring, twiddle with the settings. You should be able to make the colors blend better to the usual background...

Have fun... don't die from starvation!

P.S.: AVS was used to make my avatar and sig.

P.P.S.: Yeah, you want a fast computer for this.

EDIT:

Sucker's list o' useful values (with two more by bufar):

   Chaingun drones = 102|102|102
        Zap drones = 121|203|227

Enjoy.

Didn't work for me, but I see what was supposed to happen.

Maybe it hates Vista? Or maybe I did something wrong? I tried with v1.4 and Nreality.

[lactose3]

WOW! That was especially trippy,especially when the effect is on the tiles!

[Izzy]

It still doesn't work for me. Maybe it's because Winamp comes with AVS v2.82

Dude this is really cool thanks I wonder if there is anyway to use a similar method to overlay video over the back-round that would so it could be used to have like and animated environment.

Same as Izzy.
